field-effect transistor [′fēld i‚fekt tran′zis·tər]
(electronics)
A transistor in which the resistance of the current path from source to drain is modulated by applying a transverse electric field between grid or gate electrodes; the electric field varies the thickness of the depletion layer between the gates, thereby reducing the conductance. Abbreviated FET.
